The disciplinary action Monday came more than two years after Jeffrey Tomei, who has an office on Staten Island, pleaded guilty to lying on a Citibank business-loan application, and injecting the badly needed cash into his firm. Last year, a Manhattan federal judge sentenced Jeffrey Tomei to pay a $5,000 fine – with no jail or probation.

“Notwithstanding . . . the leniency afforded [Tomei] by federal court, the fact remains that [he] has been convicted of a serious crime,” the ruling said.
